U.S. marshals in West Virginia arrested a man wanted for promoting prostitution and having inappropriate communication with a minor.

John Victor Corasaniti II, 53, was taken into custody Thursday in the 100 block of Dove Lane in Falling Water, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane announced in a news release.

Corasaniti was wanted by Northern York County Regional Police, who said they began their investigation in February 2013.

In April 2013, Magisterial District Judge Margaret Bria issued an arrest warrant, charging Corasaniti with promoting prostitution, corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a minor.

The U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania initially developed information that Corasaniti may have fled to Maryland. An investigative lead was sent to U.S. marshals assigned to the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force.

CARFTF personnel developed information that Corasaniti might be in the Falling Water, W.Va., area. Contact was made with U.S. marshals from the Mountain State Fugitive Task Force, leading to the arrest.

After being apprehended without incident, Corasaniti was transported to the Eastern Regional Berkeley County Jail. He was turned over to local authorities for processing pending judicial proceedings concerning his extradition to Pennsylvania.
